针对以色列环意大利的奇怪案例-其中意大利自行车巡回赛2018年版的开幕阶段是由一个几乎没有自行车遗产的国家主办的2000公里-该论文提出了一个问题，而不是“为什么是以色列？”而是“为什么要骑自行车”作为回应，它借鉴了理论的交汇处的流动性，美学和意识形态，再加上以色列吉罗的电视报道的实证分析，声称自行车之旅-无论是在历史上，并在其当代形式作为一个mediatised的“大事件”-是由一个独特的“亲属审美”的能力。这种能力执行和命令的领土身份作为连贯的，不言自明的整体，从而制定了一个意识形态的“封闭的错觉”。因此，这篇文章呼吁更多的关键注意力，不仅在一般的大型活动，但自行车之旅具体：它执行领土的方式，以及这种亲属美学设备的潜在工作意识形态，掩盖分裂和辩论。
Addressing the strange case of the Israeli Giro d’Italia – wherein the opening stages of the Italian cycling tour’s 2018 edition were hosted 2000 km away, by a country with little cycling heritage – the paper poses the question, not ‘Why Israel?’ but ‘Why cycling?’. In response, it draws on theory at the intersection of mobilities, aesthetics, and ideology, together with an empirical analysis of the Israeli Giro’s TV coverage, to claim that the cycling tour – both historically, and in its contemporary form as a mediatised ‘mega-event’ – is characterised by a uniquely ‘kin-aesthetic’ capacity. This capacity performs and orders territorial identities as coherent, self-evident wholes, thus enacting an ideological ‘illusion of closure’. Consequently, the article calls for greater critical attention not only to mega-events in general, but to the cycling tour specifically: the ways in which it performs territory, and the potential of such kin-aesthetic devices to work ideologically, concealing division and debate.
